Hazel Schmoll Research Fellowship in Colorado Botany

The Schmoll Research Fellowship was established in memory of Dr. Hazel Schmoll, an alumna of CU-Boulder and the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in Botany from the University of Chicago in 1935. The fellowship aims to continue her work of research and education in Colorado botany, with an emphasis on field botany, including systematics and ecology, of Colorado plants. It is open to students, faculty, and staff of the University of Colorado, with awards of up to $500.
